1) What is the Visual Content of this image?
This is a very retro-looking piece with 2 figures dressed in 1930's style clothing in an empty room. There's a window that doesn't reveal what is outside and a exit that leads to a blank hallway. Maybe it moving day and this was the childrens bedroom? Who knows.. that's haldf the fun.

2) Name 3 Design Elements
TONE: The whole piece seems to be in a similar tonal faded range. Nothing is too dark or too light. very pastel.
COLOR: like the Tones the colors here are muted Earth tones, pale green and light brown - faded.
SIZE: the different sizes of the two figures are important to this piece. In fact, the size of the foreground figure seems somehow "off" from what it ought to be - an interesting effect.

3) What Color Scheme is used?
For one thing the color choice here fits perfectly with the era that the photo is portraying. Pale greean and muted brown along with the off white. Only the girls blue dress stands out, though even that is a muted blue. The colros are used very effectively here.

4) What could be improved?
It's a little too washed out. I think more contrast and lighting might heighten the mood. Also i am still not sure if the boy is really in that picture or not. There is something wrong about the perspective and I'm not sure if that is on purpose or an accident.

5) What wins on this page?
I see the boy first, as he is the largest thing in the picture. Then I see the little girl. What is their relationship? Why are they there? Where are they? It bring up many interesting questions. So it does draw me in.

6) you like this image?
Yes I do like it! anything that has so many unanswered questions is always a good piece. It tells a story - I'm just not sure of all the stories details and i like the mystery.
